This invention relates to gloves and has for an object to provide a glove and method of makin which will eliminate the glove thumb ho e in the palm blank, and overcome the common provision of a thumb seam 1n the palm face of the glove.

It is an object to provides method whereby the production ca acity of an opfrator is tically tially duplicate palm and the several fingers and thumb and terminate connection by at the opposite base of the wrist side of the glove or the strip connectormay start at the tip of the little finger and continue to and terminate at the tip of the fore-finger.

The invention consists in certain advancements in this art as set-forth in the ensuing disclosure'and having, with the above, additional objects and a vantages; it being understood that modifications, 'variations, and ads tations may be resorted to.

igure 1 is a plan showin matched superimposed back and 1 alm lanks, ri0r to a full rder connecting ta e. Figure 2 1s a perspective of a straig tedge connector tape, by means of which the relative edges of the back and palm blanks are connected.

Figure 3 is a perspective of a glove, showing a connector tape stitched-in placeand extending only from the tip. of the foreto the tip of the little finger. re 4 is a rspective showing a full ta e ,boxed W0! glove.

igure 5 is aplan of superposed blanks fingier for a dress love as of Figure 3.

provide a method to attain a perfect fit of It is un erstood that by i the present method any class of glove may be made and kin of material, it being a purpose to tape only between the glove in the various sizes as may be r uiied.

According to the method, a back b ank 2 o and a palm blank 3 are cutout, each including requireddigit's 4 and the thumb 5; these pieces being quite similar except that the in icated at 6 so as to obtain a per ct fit at the roots of the fin rs. I

It will be understom i that in making work gloves, the back blank 2 will be appreciably fingers of the back blank are cut deeper as smaller in outline .as com ared to the palm alm material 'is used than is used in the bac member (in blank 3 so that if a heavier,

order to insure longer wearing life) the seam 7 of the connector will beset back from the palm side to roduce a box effect as is shown in Figure 4, t e seam 8 'bein well up on the sides of the hand to .prolong 'fe.

The back and-the palm members are adapted to be connected, at their relative edges,

from the base of the wrist by the stitches 7 and 8 to the straight-ed ed,narrow connector ginning at the base tape 9 which may have of thewrist on one sideand then extend entirely along the wrist sides and digit and thumb sides, and back to the opposite side of;

the Wrist, as in Figure 4.

In Figure 3, the blanks 2 'and 3 are shown as stitched at 10 directly together along the wrist sides, the thumb margins, and the outer margins of the fore-finger and of the little finger; the connector tape 9 commencing at a. point a of the fore-finger and ending at a point I) of the little finger, and joining the intermediate fingers. a.

It will be seen from the above that no. thumb hole-is needed in either palm or back blanks and that no stitch is presented at the ball of the thumb in the joimng of the love, thus enabling long life of the glove and ro- .viding a very economical method for pr uction of gloves.

When the love blanks-are even, as in Fi ure 1, and fa taped from. side to side (as in Fi re 4) the glove can be used reversibly on eit er hand, thus doubling its life.

' If the glove is tobe'gined by a connector gers, Figure 3, then the palm blank 3 is made smaller than the back blank 2 as shown at zones 12, Figure 5,

to provide needed fullness at absence of the connector tape. The connector 9 is of particular value when used to connect the outer edges of the forefinger and the inner edges of the thumb of the glove, for in this way it makes a closely fitting glove, while permitting free movement of the forefinger and the It will be seen by referring to the'drawing that the t. outer edges 0 of the forefinger portions are spaced apartfrom the tip of the forefinger portions to the thumb portions and that the inner edges 03 of the thumb ortions are also spaced apart from the-tip o the thumb portions to the forefinger portions. The connector 9 connects the said ed es 0 of the forefinger portions and the sai edges (l of the thumb portions and this connector 9 extends from the tip of the forefinger portions to the tip of the thumb portions.

What is claimed is:

1. A glove having back and palm portions each having a forefinger portion and a thumb portion, the outer edges of the forefinger portions and the inner edges of the thumb portions being spaced apart respectively, and a connector having substantially parallel sides disposed at the said outer edges of the forefinger portions and the said inner edges of the thumb portions, the connector ex'tend-' ing from the tip of the forefinger portions to the tip of the thumb portions and having its sides secured to the said outer edges of the forefinger portions and the sand inner edges Y thumb of the thumb portions to provide a closely fitting love, While permitting free movement of the thumb and the forefinger relatively to each other.

2. A glovehaving back and palm portions each having a forefinger portion and a thumb portion, the outer edges of the forefinger fportions being spaced apart from the tip 0 the forefinger portions to the thumb portions and the inner edges of the thumb portions being spaced apart from the tip of the thumb portions to the forefinger portions, and a connector having sides disposed at the said outer edges of the forefinger portions and the said inner edges of the thumb portions, the said connector extending from the tip of the forefinger portions to the tip of the thumb portions and having its sides secured to the outer edges of the forefinger portions and the inner\ edges of the thumb porto the forefinger ortions, and a connector having substantia ly parallel sides disposed at the said outer edges of the forefinger portions and the said inner edges of the thumb portions, the said connector extending from the tip of the forefinger portions to the tip of the thumb portions and having its sides secured to the outer edges of the forefinger portions and the inner edges of the thumb portions to provide a closely fitting glove,

' 3. A glove having back and palm portions each having a forefinger portion and a thumb portion, the outer edges of the forefinger portions being spaced apart from a point adjacent the tip of the forefingerportion's to the thumb portions and the inner edges of the portions being s' aced apart from a point a 1acent the tip'o the thumb portions
